[QUOTE="Zenon, post: 858319, member: 352"] Agreed. I had ME loaded and it gave me such problems I formatted it and reloaded 98SE. I would also agree that NEVER upgrade an OS over an old OS. You just bring the problems of your old OS right along with you. Always try to get a full version and start fresh with a formatted drive. If you need things off your old drive, pick up a new one (they're fairly cheap these days), make it your primary drive and load the new OS on it. After you're done loading, then attach your old drive in the system as a secondary drive and bring over any info you need off of it. If you hook in your old drive before loading the new OS, it might refuse to load because it sees an OS on one of the drives. If you're looking to use a Windows OS, I would recommend XP Pro (stay away from XP Home). I have had no problems at all with it, at home or at work. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
